Here's how you can cultivate a strong sense of self-assurance in your professional interactions.
Confidence is a cornerstone of professional success, and it's something you can actively develop. If you've ever felt unsure of yourself in a work setting, you're not alone. Many people struggle with self-assurance, especially when faced with challenging situations or new responsibilities. However, by leveraging the principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counseling approach designed to elicit behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence, you can build a stronger sense of self-confidence in your professional interactions. MI focuses on empathetic conversation and listening to strengthen an individual's motivation and commitment to change. This article will guide you through practical steps to cultivate self-assurance using techniques inspired by MI.
